While driving my child to school a short while ago today, my car accelerated on its own and would not brake. I was attempting to stop for an upcoming red light. The car accelerated without me pressing the gas and the brakes went completely out. I was able to avoid a collision. This lasted for under 1 minute, then suddenly the car decelerated and I was then able to brake.

What 2011 Chrysler 300 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I have three chrysler, dodge cars and all three of them are having the same problem. Catalytic converter is messing up on three of them at the same time. One of them is a 2011 chrysler 300 with only 80,000 miles, 2010 dodge nitro truck with over 100,000 miles and a 2012 dodge avenger over 100,000 miles. I feel that dodge chrysler jeep should have this as one of the recalls. The 2010 dodge nitro truck my daughter was driving just cut off on her on the freeway when she stopped in traffic. And the 2012 dodge avenger is sitting up in my drive way not being driven because of its so expensive to get them repaired. My 2011 chrysler 300 and 2010 dodge nitro truck is going in the shop to get the repairs done, but I feel dodge, chrysler jeep should be eating up the cost for these repairs. The dodge truck stopped on her oct 15th on the freeway, during traffic hours.

Heavy gas smell upon fill-up. Seems to be inside vehicle

When I fill up my car I smell gas if I only put it on half a tank I do not smell gas. Also the steering is making a popping sound and if I turn the car loses control this is a real issue I'm having with my chrysler 300
Vehicle had a strong smell of fuel. There are many complaints regarding this same issue on the internet. The offending part was auxiliary fuel pump had to be replaced that is mounted on the top of the gas tank underneath the back passenger seat.
When we fill up our chrysler 2011 300 we can smell gas on the inside and on the outside of car
Fuel transfer pump assembly failed on this model and was told that no mopar parts in the country are available. The service group working on this car when conferring with chrysler parts. That there have been allot of complaints on this right side assembly. I have formally provided chrysler a compliant today. I was told by the repair shop doing the work, that he feels that chrysler should recall as the passenger r side assembly seems to be the worst of the two in this vehicle. Can you look into this. Luckily we were able to get an after market part from indiana so we can drive the car. In it's present state the gas fumes radiating from under the back seats were dangerous that could lead to a extreme danger to the occupants. Regards,
I have been smelling gas for the last six months.o n 11-21-2015 it was dropped off at the dealer for an oil change.when I picked it up all the doors and trunk were open presumably to air out the fumes.I had my son check to see what the problem was,he found fuel leaking from the right side of the fuel tank.a large area of the sound proofing under the car was soaked with gasoline. After checking several chrysler blogs he found out this is a common problem on several chrysler models around 2011.I took the car to the dealer who advised it should be safe to drive. They found they found the right side fuel pump level unit leaking on top . I believe it is a dangerous situation and should be recalled.
